SEASONED and veteran journalist, Adam Lusekelo (54) passed away while being rushed to Muhimbili National Hospital (MNH) on Thursday night, his wife Scolastica Lusekelo, said.
Ms Lusekelo said the deceased’s health deteriorated on Thursday night when relatives rushed him to MNH.
“He didn’t even reach the hospital, he breathed his last on the way at around 11pm,” Ms Lusekelo said. The ‘Sunday News’ columnist has been battling diabetes for a long time and was surviving on medication.
“Oh, no! We have lost a ‘Sunday News’ readers’ favourite,” lamented the newspaper’s Editor, Ichikaeli Maro upon receiving news of Mr Lusekelo’s death.
His column, a unique blend of writing serious issues of national importance with a soft touch, won many hearts and souls.
“My husband will miss him badly, he was his favourite columnist,” said Joyce Sabuni, Tanzania Standard Newspapers employee in the circulation section.
TSN Acting Managing Editor, Mkumbwa Ally also mourned the death of one of journalism’s most gifted writers. Burial arrangements are being made at his home at Ubungo Maziwa, but the body is likely to be transported to his home region of Rungwe in Mbeya, his wife said.
The late Lusekelo is survived by a wife and three children, two daughters and a son. He worked with TSN briefly in the 1980s before joining BBC as a correspondent based in Dar es Salaam.

Kwa niaba ya Tanzanian Canadian Association (TCA), chama cha jumuiya ya Watanzania tunaoishi Toronto , Ontario , Canada na vitongoji vyake, tunapenda kuchukua fursa hii kwanza kabisa, kutoa rambirambi zetu kwa familia za wananchi waliopoteza wapendwa wao katika ajali ya mabomu yaliyolipuka katika kambi ya jeshi eneo la Gongo La Mboto, Dar-es- Salaam , Tanzania .
Tunawaombea wote waliopoteza maisha yao Mwenyezi Mungu awapumzishe kwa amani; tunawatakia majeruhi waugue pole, wapone haraka ili waweze kuendelea na shughuli zao za kila siku. Vilevile, tunawatakia wote waliopotezana na ndugu zao hususan watoto waliopotezana na wazazi wao waweze kupatikana na kukutana tena.
Tumesikitishwa na taarifa za maafa hayo na kuhuzunishwa kuona kwamba ni mara ya pili tukio kama hili linatokea nchini kwetu. Wengi watakumbuka siku si nyingi janga kama hili lilitokea kule Mbagala. Tunapenda kuuomba uongozi wa jeshi uangalie upya namna silaha kali zinavyohifadhiwa; katika utaratibu wa kuhifadhi mabomu, tunapendekeza yafanyike marejeo na marekebisho yatakayozingatia usalama wa raia.
Katika kuhitimisha, tunalisisitizia Jeshi la Wananchi wa Tanzania (JWTZ), lichukue hatua madhubuti na za haraka katika kuhakikisha majanga yanayoweza kuepukika kama haya hayatokei tena.
Mungu Ibariki Tanzania .

Kutokana na msiba huo,mambo yakawa mengi na nguvu ya kuandika ikapotea ghafla. Shukrani kwa wote mlionitumia ujumbe kutaka kujua kulikoni.Kwa bahati mbaya sijapata muda wa kuwajibu nyote.Sababu ya msingi ni msiba huo.Maadam Babu amekwisha pumzishwa katika nyumba yake ya milele,hatuna budi kuendelea na maisha.

Kama ingelikuwa binadamu anakata rufaa ya kifo,Oh oh, kinapotokea,mbele ya Mungu na mimi ningekata rufaa, nirudishiwe wangu eeh, niliyempenda hapa duniani lakini nimeshindwa sijui nifanyeje….
Pumzika kwa amani Babu.Bwana alitoa na Bwana ametwaa.Jina lake lihimidiwe.
